There are jobs out there if you have the right skills. My employer has many vacancies for qualified, educated people.- The Realist

My 300 person company (not MY company but the one I work for) has 15 open positions between the Triangle and the Triad area. There are good jobs out there but you have to GO GET THEM not "look" or send out resumes. The days of faxing a resume are long gone and so many people simply fail to see that.

and the lies just keep on comin'

i know literally dozens of people I used to work with that dont have a job, gone bankrupt, have been on unemployment through every round.

And the ones that have got a job are not making anything. not finding a job they can survive on.

LS, how many times are you going to post that bartender joke? Are you competing with WooHoo's Christmas krap? Boys, it wasn't funny the first time, it isn't funny the 56th.

WRAL, are you truly unable to moderate these boards? Do we really need to read the same tired stuff along with a few paid posters who add nothing, not even a dissenting POV?

"How come I have a two time felon family member who has gotten three jobs just this year. He started installing fire sprinklers, then found a better job cutting granite, then a better job doing heating and air. Whats your excuse? Lazy? Greedy? Massively inept?"

He started on job 1, then his record came to light/things went missing from work and clients' homes, he was fired, found job 2, then his record came to light/things went missing from work and clients' homes, he was fired, found job 3...that about right?

And what are you so angry about, boy?

And being reported today ....

"For the first time in history, there are now more unemployed Americans who attended at least some college than people who only graduated high school or dropped out of high school, Bureau of Labor Statistics data show.

Seasonally unadjusted BLS data from April show that about 4.7 million of the nation's 9 million unemployed either graduated from a four-year or a two-year college program or attended college for some time before dropping out. A smaller 4.3 million share of America's unemployed graduated only from high school or didn't finish high school. "

Still unemployed here, but at least there's "talk" of calling folks back. I guess that's better than nothing.

Not a chance of that happening buddy. Just like your left wing-whackos up in the land of cheeseheads, they are going down.

WooHoo2You.... Many Presidents came into office during a recession. But Obama is the first that failed to do what it took to get the country out of the recession. I am not taking all blame from Bush, he got creamed by the Far Left Congress that he had to live with the last two years of his term. Obama had both houses of congress and the White House during his first two years and got the car out of the ditch only to find the biggest cliff and drive over it as fast as the car would go.
